F10 Hand Scrub Pink – Surgical Eliminates Gram-positive Bacteria Such as Staphylococcus

Key Features

• Designed for surgical hand scrub and patient pre-operative skin preparation
• Contains F10 core actives with added skin care components
• Broad-spectrum antimicrobial effectiveness
• Proven zero skin irritation hazard on intact and abraded skin
• Suitable for repeated professional use
• Ideal alternative to chlorhexidine or iodine-based preparations

F10 Hand Scrub is positioned as a practical solution for professionals who need consistency rather than complexity. The formulation supports regular use without escalating skin irritation over time, a common problem with traditional antiseptic scrubs.

The absence of unnecessary additives keeps the product focused on hygiene performance and skin safety rather than cosmetic appeal. In professional settings, that trade-off is usually welcome.

Efficacy & Performance

F10 Hand Scrub is fast-acting by design. Laboratory testing demonstrates elimination of gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus species within 15 seconds.

Gram-negative bacteria including Clostridium difficile and Pseudomonas species, as well as yeasts such as Candida albicans, are eliminated within 30 seconds. These timeframes are measured contact times rather than marketing estimates.

With a contact time of one minute, F10 Hand Scrub achieves a >log 8 reduction, representing more than a 100,000,000-fold reduction in microbial cell counts.

After repeated challenges, the product continues to achieve >log 7 reduction, equivalent to a 99.99999 % kill rate, and provides residual antimicrobial activity for up to three hours.

This residual effect supports continued protection following correct hand preparation and reduces reliance on constant re-application beyond established hygiene protocols.
